How to Create a Civilization in BTS

[Martimus]

Yup, all the XML info (for the path anyway) is correct. However, I think I might be missing something that would cause the unit/building to not be buildable.
I think the problem is, is that I might be missing the part, where in the civilopedia, it states. "Unique Unit for My Civ". Do you know by chance which part of XML causes that?
The path, for my case, is UNIT_AMARDIA_MURMILLO, and this is the same for all the Unit paths that require UNIT_ARMARDIA_MURMILLO.
Any ideas?

That's automatically done after you assigned the building and unit to the civ in the CivilizationInfos.xml. That's also why i asked. If that's not visible in the pedia, then there's somewhere a bug at that point.

 

[Martimus]

Hmm. I'll take a look into that. Thanks though!

I have looked into it, and nothing seems to be out of place. Are you saying that I can't fix this problem? Or do you have a solution? Anyone have an idea?

 

[The_J]

Please upload your civilizationInfos.xml and the buildingInfos.xml, i want to take a look at it.

I'm going to ask this question I have in this thread becuase I followed this guide (with the sole execption being that instead of an Irish civilization I made a Civfanatic civilization) to make my mod.

I loaded my mod, however, when it was loading it displayed this error message:

Tag: LEADER_THUNDERFALL in Info class was incorrect.
Current XML file is: xml\Civilization/CIV4CivilizationsInfos.xml

I have my files here if that would help.

Thanks in advance.

 

[The_J]

The XML seem to be correct .
Try to remove the comments (e.g. <!-- Ninja's Code -->), because they can break some of the XML files (not all, but some).

 

[NinjaCow64]

Okay, I found out what the problem was (I editied the new Civ's code AND Charlie's original code so it freaked out when there was two Thunderfalls!)

Now I have a different problem. I get this error message twice on mod load:

Failed to find sibling
Current XML file is: xml\text\civ4gametext_objects_bts.xml

Thanks for all of your help J.

 

[The_J]

Not sure what it means, but in general there's probably something wrong with the XML structure. A tag too much or too less, probably.
But before searching, i'd also remove the comment.

J, I need help!My Civ IV diplomacyinfos has a problem

Which problem? What is happening?

and My Colonization Leaderheads infos is read only! Please help!

Do you have admin rights on your computer? Because if so, then you should easily be able to change that.

Which problem? What is happening?

When I load the game it's okay but then when I play as any civ I get errors saying the diplomacy info has an invalid character and then none of the leaders say anything!

I do!How do I change it?
Thanks So Much!

Do you have any special characters in there?
Like öäü´` etc.?

In general, copying the file should already have solved the problem.
But whatever, you should be able to edit if, if you first rightclick on the file, choose "run as administrator..." (or similar), and then open it.

I followed the tutorial step by step and it doesn't work. The new civilization does not exist when I play the mod.

 

[The_J]

Even not in the civilopedia?

 

[Absolution]

No.

I even tried to make changes only in the Text files.
I changed the English short description of Babylon to Babylonia, and it doesn't change anything in the game when I load the mod.

 

[The_J]

Might be the cache -> hold down shift during loading, and see if it changes anything.

 

[AzraelsGrace]

Im trying to save the XMLs but it wont let me. This message keeps popping up

Please help soon.

 

[The_J]

You need to work with admin rights. Then Windows will allow you to save the files there.

 

[AzraelsGrace]

I was looking for it. I have windows Vista. Usually I just right click and select "run as administrator" but the option doesnt appear anywhere. Is there another way to run as admin?

btw very helpful tutorial. If I could just save this would be easier lol.

 

[The_J]

Don't have Vista .
I think it's also somewhere possible to grant yourself writing permissions to the whole subfolder, but don't know exactly there.

Other options:
- Uninstall the game and install it somewhere outside of the program files folder
- mod somewhere else (desktop, My Documents, etc), and move it afterwards to the normal mods folder
